What’s In Semen?

 

For the most part, semen is made of sugar, water, enzymes, protein, zinc and citric and  ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). There’s not enough of anything in it to cause harm or good.

There’s a wide variety of consistency and viscosity in semen, but for the most part, it comes out white and then turns clear. Here’s why: the two glands that make up most of the liquid in semen are at odds with each other.

The seminal vesicle contains sugars and proteins that cause semen to coagulate, turning it white. But fluid from the prostate gland contains enzymes that break down that coagulation. So basically, your ejaculate doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going. So it does both. It coagulates as soon as it leaves your penis, then immediately goes into liquefaction.
